" CAKE CTTER,

Application mea vMay 5, le'aa 'se-rial No; 558,650.

-the following is a specification.

My invention relates to improvements in cake cutters, and more'particularly to that class or type commonly known asrotary cake cutters for use in dividing or cutting dough into suitable strips or sections preparatory to baking or frying into suitably shaped cakes. Y

The primary object of the invention lis to provide a generally improved device of the class indicated which will be exceedingly simple in construction, cheap of manufacture, and etlicient in use. Y

AA further and very important object is the provision of a cutter'ofthis class of sheet metal throughout 'which will not only be durable `and ornamental in appearance but which may be readily kept clean and sanitary.

'A- still further object is the provision of an improved hollow metallic handle to-j gether with an improved form of'cutter carrying bearing head, said head andhandle being provided with improved cooperating neck and recess portions with suitable anchor members adapted to mount and ysecure the handle and head port-ions in an improved manner. Y 1

VViththe above mentioned and other ends in view, the invention consists in the novel construction, arrangement, and' combination or' parts, hereinafter described,v illustrated in someV of its embodiments in the accompany,

ing drawings, and particularlypointed out in the appended claims. l.

Referring to thel drawings, forming a part offthis specification, FigurelV is a topv plan or edge View of a cake cutter constructed in accordance with this invention. Fig. 2, a side elevation of the same.

Fig. 3, an edge view, partly in central t longitudinal section, illustrating in particular the form and arrangement of the cutter carrying bearing head and the improved means of mounting and anchoring the same within the end of the handle.

Similar-numeralsof reference designate like parts throughoutall the gures of the drawings.' f l 4 j Y The impro 'edcake cutter comprises a hollow sheet metal handle and a cutter carrying bearinghead'together with a suitable rotary cutter or wheel'toy beh'nowf described.

. The improved handle comprises two' corn-l plernentary members` l, or vclmmel shape in cross section/with the channel orfconca'v'e portionsxextending "toward leach ,other and connected loiiigitudnallyby lmeans, ojf longi- Vtudinally extending seams formed, in the presentinstance, by means of afhook shaped flange-ila, extending over an internally 'ar-p` ranged flange 1b;V f .Y

The improved cutter carrying bearing vhead comprises'two companionor complementary bearing brackets 2, having bearing lugs 2a, and provided "with outwardly o'f set sides 2b, the latter termii'iatinglin'constricted neck portions 22, conjointly forming handle receiving recesses'2, vand provided with enlarged anchorM portions '2a. -The an? chor `mei'nbers 2e abut against each other' at one end and con-jointlyy form ari-'enlarged anchorheadcorresponding incontour to the inner end wall's ofthe handle. Asi a means of securing the handle tothe brackets 2, one end of thev handle is 'formed over thehead portions 2B, so that the end walls I are seated in the recesses 2d and the interveningl opening or recess in the pointed portion 1, receives and isv closed by said' constricted neck portions' '2 of the brackets 2. I

The'rotary cutter or' wheel 3 maybe of any suitable and convenient form and may' be mounted in the brackets -2 in any suitable and convenient manner, as rorexam-- `pld-by means of a` bearing' element 4', ex-

members 2'LL of the brackets and through a .t

Vcentral, opening in the wheel 3.,v The cutter 3 may be permanently attached within the brackets 2 and may be provided with radially extending corrugations terminating ,in angular tread portions 3a, to Aform notches in the dough lor cake to be cut, as shown in Figs. l and 2 of the drawings, or, if desired, the outer periphery of the cutter vilo l wheel may have a plain cutting edge as at 3b, as shown in Fig. 4 of the drawings, and may be removably or demountablymounted Y by providing one'of the lugs 2a with a struck Y 3, as shown in Figo of the drawings.

4Fromthe foregoing description taken in connection with the accompanying drawings thel opera-tion and advantages ofl my invention'will be readily understood.

1 Having thusV described sonie of the embodiments of my invention, without having attempted to setforth all the forms in which it may ,be made, or all the modes ofvits use,

what I claim and desire to secure by Letters i l. Ina cake cutter, a cutter carrying ibearing head having a c'onstricted neck portion, and a handle having its end walls seated in said constrioted neck portion. 1

2. A cake cutter, comprising a` hollow handle, bearing brackets having enlarged anchor portions extending f into said handle, and a rotary cutter in said brackets.

A hollow handle comprising two coni-` pleinentary handle members of channel shape in cross section connected to each other at the edges thereof and tapered and spaced apart at one endorming a constrict-Y ed open end to receive a holding shank.
